RE: Interesting observation, question

BTW, I've uploaded the latest version of FIDE. John, it *shouldn't*
crash on you, although I couldn't reproduce your problem. It should give
you an error message and then allow you to continue. You can just
download the EXE (see the install page). Email me if you need the
download page again.

In this version, you can insert assembled files (listings) and FIDE will
write the appropriate 9lc script. It makes some assumptions about your
listing so if you try this feature and it doesn't work for you, just let
me know. It worked for me for MAME listing (DASM exports) and for a 6809
assembler I'm using.

I'm writing an "Intro to Programming" article that I should have up
later this weekend. I'll also put up at least one more code sample for
people starting to use scripts more.
